When news and pictures emerged of the conditions refugees in Serbia and Greece were living in this winter -- outdoors, barely surviving the freezing temperatures -- we sprung into action. We raised an outstanding €64,000 to go directly to the organisations helping people on the ground.
Part of the donations have gone to Refugee Aid Serbia helping those braving the cold in Belgrade, as well as Fresh Response, a movement helping those who are stuck on the Serbian/Hungarian border and who face police brutality daily.
Are You Syrious? is building a mobile shower which will fit four showers, a gas-heated container with water, clean clothes packages, towels, and other vital material, such as soap and feminine products. This project will be entirely funded by the WeMove community and will soon be up and running, making its way through Serbia where people are in dire need of it.
Every single one of us should be proud of what we were able to do together. Borders, cultural differences, linguistic barriers -- nothing could stand in our way. Join more than 57,000 other Europeans and help us put pressure on the EU Ministers for Home Affairs and Migration to follow through with their commitment to help the refugees who arrived at Europe’s doorstep - sign!
